Ok so your description of the problem confused me a bit, but I see that
in the !64K page, pgtable_t is already a struct page so yes, the
page_address() call here is bogus.
However, I also noticed that in the 64k page case, we don't call the dto
at all. Is that a problem ?
Also, Aneesh, shouldn't we just fix the disconnect here and have
pgtable_t always be the same type ? The way this is now is confusing
and error prone...
